  1. 0:44–0:46 Hand Float Concrete Surface From How to Pour a Concrete Landing Pad for Deck Stairs, Step 7: Float the Concrete

    Following the screeding process, a hand float (typically made of magnesium or wood) is used to further smooth the concrete surface. This involves moving the float in broad, overlapping arcs or strokes, applying gentle pressure. Floating helps to embed any remaining aggregate particles just below the surface, remove minor imperfections left by screeding, and bring a layer of cement paste (known as 'fat') to the surface. This prepares the concrete for subsequent, finer finishing steps.
